What time of the year is it?

If you were to go outside today you would never think it was anywhere close to Christmas let alone being December.  According to the weather guy it's going to be in the low to mid 70's all week!  WOO HOO

Most people have traditions for this time of year.  I really can't remember any real traditions my family has had.  I do remember way back when my Granny (that's what we called our grandmother  -- and it really fit her) was still alive, she LOVED chocolate covered cherries.  We always had a box or two around the house for her.  After she died we still bought chocolate covered cherries into the house.  No one really liked them all that much but it was a part of what when "had" to buy every year.  It was probably a good 5 years or so before we stopped buying them.

But this year!  I know it was probably out last year but I just decovered a Hershey Kiss that is wonderful! Cherry Cordial Creme Kisses!  Now these I like!  They taste like chocolate covered cherries but without the cherry and not so sweet either.  I know my Granny would love these things.

While I was looking for the above link I found some fun things at the Hershey site that I never knew they had.  Check these out:

HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates - Downloads - Screensavers

HERSHEY'S KISSES Brand Chocolates - What's New

Great stuff -- and best of all it's free stuff!

Mom gave me some Christmas money early and of course I had to spend part of it early.  I got some games for my computer.  I had been playing the free versions on AOL.  You can buy them from AOL but they cost like $19.95, I found the exact same thing at Wal-Mart for $9.99.  Not bad.  Plus buying them at Wal-Mart I get the CD for a back up in case my computer crashes, you don't get that with AOL.

If you are having "my" great weather what are you doing sitting there?  Get outside!  You know it will get cold sooner or later so get outside now while you can.

Yes, it has been beautiful here.  But all the back and forth between cold and hot has my sinuses in a tizzy.  

My husband loves the cherry cordials.  We buy them every year.

We have 30 degree weather here so it does seem like Christmas.  My Mom always got the Cherry Cordials here and I'll miss that again this year.  I'll have to look for the Hershey's .  'On Ya' - ma

Rain, rain and more rain here in PA.  At least we're in the 40s and it's not snow.

I'd go outside if in for the inch of ICE!  We're getting it bad here in Hooterville.

It was 73° here on Tuesday, but now we're back to the 50s and 40s.  Hope you're having a good week.
